So my husband and I are really liking the name [name]Guinevere[/name] and want to know what kind of sibling names you would pair with it. [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Guinevere[/name] is too much? We like the nickname [name]Evie[/name] but would love some other suggestions 
We prefer names that are at least two syllables since our last name is only one.
Thanks!
[name]Guinevere[/name] is a lot of name. [name]Evie[/name] definitely softens it, but i still feel like its too big of a name for someone to carry. I really do love the nn [name]Evie[/name] though so another more approachable option could be [name]Genevieve[/name]. Or, even [name]Gwendolyn[/name] has a softer sound to it, and [name]Gwen[/name] is a great nn too.
If you do end up going with [name]Guinevere[/name] I could see her siblings being :
[name]Mathilda[/name]
[name]Rosalyn[/name]
[name]Isobel[/name]
[name]Ethel[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Ignatius[/name]
[name]Willoughby[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Wolfgang[/name]
[name]Vaughan[/name]
[name]Finnegan[/name]
[name]Padraig[/name]
Something like [name]Guinevere[/name] ā[name]Evie[/name]ā, [name]Rosalyn[/name] ā[name]Rosie[/name]ā and [name]Ignatius[/name] ā[name]Nate[/name]ā could be interesting!
[name]Hope[/name] this helps, and just remember my opinion isnāt the one that matters. As long as you and your husband love the name, then go for it!
I personally think itās too over-the-top for an actual person, but itās pretty and a guilty pleasure of mine.

Thanks for the replies! I am still thinking about whether or not I think it is too much name. Itās very pretty and one that most people have heard but two out of three people thinking its [name]OTT[/name] is not encouraging 
From everyoneās suggestions I like [name]Magdalene[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Athena[/name], [name]Helena[/name], and [name]Evangeline[/name].
I think its a great name, and I donāt see much of a difference between it and any other older, slightly formal 3 syllable girls name. Plus, there are loads of good nns for itā[name]Evie[/name], [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Vera[/name]ā¦ Of course if you plan to go with [name]Evangeline[/name] for a second girl then you probably wouldnāt want to call [name]Guinevere[/name] ā[name]Evie[/name]ā!
Though with any sibling names youād want to avoid any [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] names like [name]Morgaine[/name], [name]Gawain[/name], [name]Gareth[/name], Galahad, etc . A lot of the other choices look really good to me though, and I think asophie1 is rightāif you love it, go with it
What do you guys think of [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Elspeth[/name]? Is it too long or formal looking?
What middle name would you pair with a sister [name]Evangeline[/name] that would have a similar feel?
Thanks
I happen to love [name]Guinevere[/name], and it is a guilty pleasure name of mine, but I tend to agree it might be a bit, well, bold for usage today. Off your list, I think that [name]Athena[/name] and [name]Helena[/name] work best with your last name ([name]Nguyen[/name], right?), but [name]Athena[/name] is every bit as much name as [name]Guinevere[/name] in my opinion. My favorite is [name]Helena[/name], because, although I love [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Helena[/name] sounds much better with your last name. However, if you really like [name]Guinevere[/name], I might name a sister something like [name]Catriona[/name], which I happen to love with your last name, by the wayā¦
As for [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Elspeth[/name], I think Iād prefer [name]Elspeth[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name], and perhaps you could use [name]Elsa[/name] or [name]Elsie[/name] as a nickname? A very pretty combination in my opinion, and it takes away the problem of [name]Guinevere[/name] being a whole lot of name! Names I like with [name]Guinevere[/name] and [name]Elspeth[/name] are [name]Carys[/name], [name]Catriona[/name], [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Isobel[/name], [name]Isolde[/name], and [name]Morgana[/name]. I think that [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] would be adorable, as would be [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Catriona[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name].

Thanks for the reply lemmon!
We are still thinking about [name]Guinevere[/name]. I donāt think [name]Isolde[/name] is any less bold than [name]Guinevere[/name], at least in my opinion But it is a beautiful name for sure and one that my husband really likes
We still really love [name]Helena[/name], and [name]Evangeline[/name] is toward the top of our list. [name]Do[/name] [name]Helena[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] make a good sister set?
[name]Catriona[/name] is very beautiful and does flow nicely with our last name, but all I can think about when I hear the name is the awful hurricane. I had several family members living in New Orleans at the time and I donāt think that association is ever going to go away. It is pronounced like [name]Katrina[/name] correct?
Yes, [name]Catriona[/name] is like [name]Katrina[/name], and, youāre right, [name]Isolde[/name] is no less bold than [name]Guinevere[/name] - I just like the two together!
And, [name]Helena[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] are perfect sisters! [name]Love[/name] those!
[name]Lemon[/name]
I can see the appeal of [name]Guinevere[/name], itās historical and romantic sounding. Itās a bit over the top for me, but [name]Evie[/name] as a nickname is really cute and brings it down to earth. I have to say I like other long āgā names like [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] a lot more. [name]Genevieve[/name] might be a nice alternative, itās a similar sound and you can still use [name]Evie[/name] as a nickname.
I love, [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Helena[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] for sisters!
more ideas-
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Magdalen[/name] or Magdelena

[name]Hi[/name] Texaswillow, I like [name]Guinevere[/name] but I canāt see it with your surname [name]Nguyen[/name] (nn [name]Gwen[/name] or Guin [name]WIN[/name])??? But [name]Helena[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] are a lovely sibset. There may be a problem if you want to honour your relatives [name]Marylee[/name] and [name]Eugenia[/name]. [name]Helena[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] or [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Lee[/name] [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name]??? Tough combos. Personally, I still love [name]Clio[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] the best. [name]Clio[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Lee[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name]. A long name for a little baby but sheāll grow into it!!
Thanks for all the feedback!
After considering it, I donāt think we are going to go with [name]Guinevere[/name]. Itās lovely, but too much I think.
We love [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Helena[/name], though! [name]Both[/name] are in our top 5 so Iām glad you guys think they make a cute sibling set!
@lis9- I love the name [name]Gwendolyn[/name]! But [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] obviously doesnāt work ditto [name]Winifred[/name]. [name]Genevieve[/name] is another name we love but we donāt like the nickname [name]Ginny[/name] so we are hesitant to use it. What other nicknames can you guys think of? [name]Evie[/name] is out because we want to use that with [name]Evangeline[/name]. From your suggestions I really like [name]Magdalena[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name], and [name]Marguerite[/name]! So pretty!
@mischa- We are still trying to work out how to implement the family names as middle names, they are hard to work with! Itās a work in progress
[name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] are beautiful together, and I absolutely love [name]Genevieve[/name] with [name]Nguyen[/name], more than [name]Evangeline[/name]! As for nicknames, if [name]Evie[/name] is out because of [name]Evangeline[/name], Iād recommend [name]Genni[/name] - thatās what the only [name]Genevieve[/name] Iāve ever known went by, and [name]Gen[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] is ridiculous. I think [name]Genni[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] is really cute!
[name]Lemon[/name]
Thanks lemon! I love [name]Genevieve[/name] as well, but not quite as much as I love [name]Evangeline[/name].
I wanted some opinions on a few other names we are considering. [name]Do[/name] any of these sound good as a sibling to [name]Evangeline[/name]?
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]/[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
??
If so, which do you guys like best? Thanks!
Well, [name]Lydia[/name] is my absolute favorite, but I think [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Camille[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Cecelia[/name], and [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] are just slightly more desirable sister setsā¦
[name]Lemon[/name]
PS [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], and [name]Cecilia[/name]? Adorable. [name]Evie[/name], [name]Genni[/name], and Cece? Or you could use [name]Gigi[/name] for [name]Genevieve[/name].
thanks lemon! I love the nickname CeCe for [name]Cecilia[/name]! too cute! [name]GiGi[/name] is a great nickname for [name]Genevieve[/name], thanks!
Husband is still thinking about those two, he thinks they sound too girly (although he loves [name]Evangeline[/name]) and not āspunkyā enough. So for now I think [name]Helena[/name] is winning out over [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name].
I donāt know how well all these names go with our boy names as my husband and I have opposite tastes when it comes to boys! The names we have picked out so far are kinda different from eachother
So far we have agreed on [name]Alaric[/name], [name]Marcus[/name], and [name]Theodore[/name] with [name]Alaric[/name] being his favorite and [name]Theodore[/name] being mine. [name]Do[/name] [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Alaric[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] make an OK sibset? Nicknames [name]Aly[/name], [name]Theo[/name], and [name]Evie[/name]? Which do you think sound the best with our last name? I am A LOT pickier about first and last name flow when it comes to boys for obvious reasons, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I think [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Nguyen[/name] sounds best, flow-wise, and I actually think [name]Marcus[/name] sounds nice with your last name. [name]Alaric[/name] is iffy, for me - Iām not getting a perfect flow when I say itā¦
Yes, I could see [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], or [name]Helena[/name] as siblings to [name]Theodore[/name], for sure!

[name]Just[/name] my 2 cents about [name]Guinevere[/name]- About 10 years ago I was a volunteer assistant at a church program, and in my [name]Early[/name] Childhood class I had a 3 year old [name]Guinevere[/name]. Itās SO not too much name. Iād have thought so too, but it was just like any other name on any other fun loving pre-schooler. [name]Evie[/name] is a sweet nickname too! The [name]Guinevere[/name] I knew didnāt have any siblings, so sorry I canāt help much there. For context, the church is in the middle of Toronto, [name]Ontario[/name]. Not quite downtown but in a bustling, middle class neighbourhood.
[name]Hi[/name], I just had to post something because our taste in names seems to be so similar! We have a daughter, [name]Helena[/name] (nn [name]Lena[/name]), and our frontrunner for [name]Baby[/name] #2 is [name]Genevieve[/name] (nn [name]Evie[/name]) if itās a girl! I also love the name [name]Guinevere[/name]āIām no name expert so not sure if itās ātoo much nameā but personally if I heard it on a little one Iād think it was beautiful. [name]Love[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name], too (we canāt use it for family reasons). If youāre thinking of using [name]Helena[/name], one thing you might take into consideration is that people never know how to pronounce itāHEL-en-a, hel-EE-na, or hel-AY-na. DH and I think each of these pronunciations is beautiful and our daugher goes by [name]Lena[/name] anyway so we didnāt worry about it, but you should think about whether that would bother you before you use [name]Helena[/name]. Good luckāI think all the names youāre considering are gorgeous!
